Oppo Camp Essendon V Hawthorn banter thread (Round 18)

[Jaeger]

Always sweet pumping you guys.

 

[tazhawk]

Please pick Hodge. Seeing footage of him for Box Hill he's obviously been to the Jay Neagle Fat Farm in his layoff, won't last a quarter in the seniors before blowing up completely.

Be careful what you wish for.

 

[tazhawk]

Being serious for a moment, I think this game will be a hell of a lot closer than a lot of people think.

Buddy not playing against his bunny's will hurt us.

Given that fact, I would say the Hawks by around 13 goals.

Was a few goals out.

 

[Brown n Gold]

"Luke Hodge" and "league's best players" is about as relevant and "Dick Reynolds" and "league's best players". Both were great in their day, but are now no longer relevant.

Nice post... Pretty sure Dick is done, not so sure about Hodgey

EDIT: Sorry for putting this in the banter thread, it is clearly more appropriate for the robust discussion thread

Self Pwnage is strong with you mate...

 

[Brown n Gold]

Suckling tagged?! Yeah okay mete.

G'day champ, think it might have been a good idea to play someone within 20m of Suckling last night?? not that it would have mattered but the kid is the best kick in the comp but he is not physical and cannot handle someone running with him.

 

[DrEvil]

But we ain't any other board

streets ahead of carltank board. they are so up themselves, any more and their anus would come out of their mouth.

 

[Frisky Dingo]

Just curious as to what happened to stanton? I only caught the last quarter of the game last night and didn't see him at all.

 

[MightyHawks]

Did you know that no team in history has been 9-1 and missed the finals...


... yet

We weren't 9-1, champ.

 

[The Dustbin]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

 

[MightyHawks]

We weren't 9-1, champ.

I stand corrected... you were only 8-1 and playing Melbourne in Round 10.

 

[Brown n Gold]

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Unfortunately for you the same could be said for...

Heppell
Jetta
Melksham
Monfries
Stanton
Hardingham
Davey
Windowlick

On a serious note, do you guys reckon you'll win the flag?

Yes.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

Great effort Bombers.

One day you'll tell your kids about the day you got within 100 points of the Hawks

Yep, and in fact if I had a kid right now I'd tell him "Hey, remember yesterday? We got within 100 points of the Hawks."

In all seriousness I'm still waiting for Hawthorn to beat an opposition side playing well. Obviously you can make the opposition look bad if you're good enough, but if I'm going to jump on the premiership bandwagon I'd want to see them be challenged and respond accordingly. That hasn't happened in a long time.

Yep, beating up on a fragile, undermanned side doesnt elevate the prospects of winning the flag this year.

Beating Essendon means nothing for our finals campaign other than the 4 points.

 

[Doss]

I really don't want to know about your haemorrhoids, pal.

 

[Lord Nicholson]

...that's what he said.

 

[realhawk]

Only injuries can stop us, at the start of the year champion data rated the Hawks list as the best and thats the way its panning out. If we have to play the Swans in the big one then the AFL via the umpires will do every thing in their power to try and stop us.

 

[Slattery_20]

Always sweet pumping guys.

Glad you had a good night.
